My temporary crowns look the same as my teeth before!?

I wanted my front two teeth crowned to improve their appearance as they were slighty chipped. I have just had my temporary crowns put in and they look exactly the same as my teeth before!!!! Will my permanent crowns look like normal teeth and not my teeth before?

I would ask my dentist...
Reply:If an impression of your teeth had been taken before the doctor prepared your teeth, then your temporaries will more than likely be a "replica" of what you already had (although I try to make my temporaries as appealing as possible). However, there was another impression that was taken AFTER your teeth were prepared. That impression will be sent to the dental lab. There your permanent crowns will be fabricated to perfection. Don't worry-- they will look perfect!
Reply:That's the way temporary crowns look, because they are made using a cast of your teeth as they were before drilling. They have no connection to what your permanent crowns will look.
